Fort Benning, Georgia
GIS Sofware Customization
Kinetic Solutions has a contract with the U.S.
Army Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, to
convert the military's Integrated 2D map viewer
into a GIS feature map using ESRI ArcGIS software..
Fort
Benning will be providing GIS layers including, roads
and highways, elevations, digitized raster images,
and building floor plans to be integrated into
the Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT)
system Fort Benning utilizes for training exercises.
As
part of this multiple phase project, the company
has been asked to customize Fort Benning's IT Map
to support the functionality currently available
with the Land Navigation System. This system
is designed for use by soldiers out in the field
conducting military training operations. Customization
will include the ability to track soldiers through
the use of GPS technology, the addition of symbology
to the MOUT system, digitized hazards and waypoints,
and the communication between the GIS systems located
at the command post and portable devices carried
by units during military urban terrain training
operations. As an added benefit to the Fort
Benning MOUT operations, Kinetic Solutions will
be developing an ArcPad application for ten Pocket
PC's
